Kandi Burress fiance killed, A.J. Jewell "What's up Atlanta Exclusive Interview"

Rico Interview Grady Hospital

Tragedy visited "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" when an ex-fiancé of a star of the reality show was killed in a fight outside his Georgia strip club.

Kandi Burruss, the newest member of the hit Bravo show, posted on her Twitter page about Ashley (A.J.) Jewell's death and asked for prayers for his six children.

"I could never in a million years imagine this happening," posted Burruss, a former member of the R&B group Xscape.

"im just in one of those moods where i dont wanna talk," she posted early this morning.

"i dont wanna b held & told its gonna b ok. i just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone," she wrote.

Jewell, who made several appearances with Burruss on the show, suffered massive head injuries during a fight late Friday outside the Body Tap Club in Atlanta, according to police.

Police arrested Fredrick Richardson hours later and charged him with voluntary manslaughter, officials said. Witnesses told Atlanta police Jewell fought with Richardson outside the skin palace.

Richardson also was injured in the fight but will be charged once he is released from Grady Memorial Hospital. A spokesman for the Atlanta cops said it was not clear what prompted the brawl.

"I adored A.J. [and] he will definitely be missed," Housewives castmate Kim Zolciak told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

"I'll be there for my dear friend Kandi," said Zolciak, who called the killing "disgusting." "I can't imagine the loss they're feeling."

Jewell was co-owner of the Body Tap, which opened in March 2008 and claims on its MySpace page that it offers $5 lap dances and draws "the sexiest ladies from all over."

Burruss, 33, joined the reality series this year, which debuted in July to the highest ratings of any series in the Real Housewives franchise.

Her impending nuptials to Jewell became one of the show's central plot lines, and Burruss frequently fought with her mother, who expressed concern over the number of women with whom her fiancé had children.

SHE CANT INTERVIEW FOR SHIT!!! LOL SMH

[Bizz2k]

This is the most worthless interview that has ever occurred in history. Not productive!!! The interviewer needs to get her skills sharpened due to repeats in the questioning and her subjective questioning. Her English (even for a Southerner) is dismal. Her interviewee - somethin' aint right about the dude. Damned Illiterate!!!
