TMZ has reported that the ex-fiancé of Kandi Burruss, one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, was killed in a bar fight last night. It was reported that AJ “suffered severe head injuries during the fight at Body Tap and was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.” Frederick Richardson has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

According to a post on No4Corners.com, Kandi had already called off the wedding back in August, stating that Kandi and AJ had become engaged right before taping started for RHA. While taping, Kandi says that there were alot of issues she was confronted with that to-date haven’t been shared in front of the camera. Anyone who watches the show knows that Kandi was taking alot of heat from her mother over AJ’s rampant baby-making (6 children with 4 different mothers). Even though the wedding had been called off, Kandi says that she and AJ are still together and trying to work through their issues.    

I am a total fan of all the Real Housewives shows, and while NeNe Leakes is my favorite of all of the housewives, I’ve really come to enjoy Kandi simply because she seems so down to earth. Like she’s in as much control of everything that’s going on her life as she can be. She’s getting ready to release an album and has started doing small venues to get her fans pumped for the release. In this week’s episode, Kandi was seen having a sushi lunch with AJ and as they were talking about her getting back into performing, AJ was very supportive in trying to ease her worries and fears about getting back into the groove.

We wish Kandi the best as she makes it through this difficult time.
