Kandi Burruss's fiance killed in a brawl

Real Housewives of Atlanta castmember Kandi Burrus' fiance A.J. Jewell was killed in a brawl outside an Atlanta strip club. According to witnesses, A.J. sustained a severe blow to the head in the parking lot outside the Body Tap gentlemen's club. He later died at an area hospital. Kandi and A.J. had agreed to take a break from their engagement with Kandi retaining custody of A.J.'s twin teenage daughters to offer them stability. Somehow, Kandi found the strength to Twitter:
