- ATL's Kandi Responds to Tragedy
- "Real Housewives of ATL" star mourns the death of Ashley "AJ" Jewell.
All of us at Bravotv.com were deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Ashley "AJ" Jewell, featured on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Below is a statement from TreMedia on behalf of Real Housewife Kandi Burruss:
"As has been reported, Ashley Jewell, 34, was killed in Atlanta last night. AJ, as he is known to many, and Grammy award winning songwriter, Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and formerly of platinum recording group Xscape, were engaged to be married. Kandi is devastated as she is also mourning the death of her uncle, Ralph Leslie, and is attending his funeral today. She has no statement to make at this time and asks for privacy. There are no final details on the death of AJ."
Kandi has also reached out to fans on her Twitter page: "I could never in a million years imagine this happening," she posted. "Please pray for AJ's children. That's who I'm the most concerned for. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their prayers."
Our thoughts are with Kandi and AJ's family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for yourloss. The children and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I recently went to a funeral for my best friend (47) who passed away from cancer.
Please be kind and thoughtful of everyone on earth, it may be the last thing you do.
I only knew of AJ thru the show, but i could tell that is what he did. Kind thoughtful young man who gave of hisself.God wanted that beautiful young man (along with my beautiful young friend)home with him.
God bless you Kandi and all of your family at this time.

Kandi, I relate to you soooo much on the show, and when I heard Rickey Smiley say that AJ passed away, my heart stopped. I wanted to pick up the phone and call you to share my heart felt pain with you. But then I had to realize that I don't know you personally (SMILE). Kandi, I lost someone I considered to be the love of my life 13 years ago, and all that I can say is GOD will carry you through it. Just let go and let GOD do his thing... you know he can do it, so let him do so. You will see how much better you will feel. May GOD be with you, AJ's babies, and your baby as well. Hopefully, your mom WILL be there to support you, through all of this, GOD knows she should. May GOD BLESS you :)

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. KANDI WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT AJ DEATH IT WAS LIKE I KNEW THE TWO OF YOU PERSONALLY. IT SEEMED AS IF I BECAME LOST OF WORDS EVEN IN EMOTIONS. THAT SAME NIGHT I PRAYED FOR AJ, YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I HAVE LOVED YOU SINCE YOU APPEARED ON THE SHOW YOU HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL PRESENCE ABOUT YOURSELF. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU AND AJ WOULD JUST FORGET ABOUT THE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT WHERE SAID AND GET MARRIED!!! SO ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEST TIMES THAT YOU AND AJ HAD AND NEVER THE WORST. I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS.

I didn't want to believe this; I was hoping I misread. AJ had the face of an angel and was a good father. He wll be missed and he is a live in spirit...watching over all the people he loves. Speak to God to speak to AJ.

Kandi, I'm so sorry for your lost at this time, you have been strong through all obstacles that have come your way recently, regardless of what anyone has said or have to say about your relationship with A.J. I felt that A.J. was the man for you he was good for your soul, he was a positive role for your daughter, and he made you feel special that's all that mattered. I also feel in my heart that your mom would have come around in time, you are her baby, and see only wants the best for you and her grandbaby, best interest was at heart trust that, god is with you and your family, you are a beautiful, strong, positive woman and will get through this keep your head up girl, god will see you through.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Remember this passage of scripture and know that AJ is in a much better place than you and I are right now. It is hard to deal with now, but just know that God does not do ANTHING for NOTHING and that it is all in his plans. Be blessed and may God keep you and your family is my prayer.

I know the show is the last thing on your mine right now, but I would like to say, you have been a blessing to see. You have brought so much to your show and have it made worth watching.I truly love your honesty and loving nature for others. Be Blessed Sistah and stay strong, you are not alone.

I'm So Sorry Kandi, I now that this is very devistating to have to say to yourself that I have lost my Husband before God committed you all to say your vowels to each other,but I want to say that the road ahead will get better as time goes on and God will not give you more than you can bare,I just want to say to you your baby and his chilren that god will see you all through this tough time in your life and baby remember your a strong black Woman that comes from a family with a long line of them and you have to be strong for you baby and your future,we dont know why God makes the decisions that he makes and why he alows them to go his way but I can truly say that he is never wrong,even though we might not agree with them he is always RIGHT! So baby I am praying for you and your baby and A.J's children and I know that GOD will see you through, so baby keep your head up because what did you say at the top is where you belong and let god show you the way,also hunny continue to be inspired by your Music and let your album be what it is that you wrote,you wrote it for a reason and let it all just flow out and continue to be inspired by things that GOD put in your life and also in you path you are in my prayer's and may GOD be with you! P.S my family are the Wiggins, Dewayne Wiggins and Ray Wiggins A.K.A Rafel Sadique so if you need any assistance with anything while in L.A Ray lives in L.A and Dewayne lives in Oakland so honey don't hesitate to call me and I will give you direct connection with them.

Kandi, I don't blog or follow web pages, but I have followed your show. Your personality is such that I had to come to this website to find out what happened... I am so terribly sorry that you have to endure this loss among several others these past few months.
You shine with such a light that no one can hold a candle to you. You will mourn, you will not find a reason for this tragedy. What will get you through are friends and family. Communicate your pain, don't close yourself off and TIME will heal your wounds. My thoughts are with you.

Kandi,
I just found out about the tragic news and I am completely saddened by the passing of AJ. If you didn't know it,the love that you shared for one another was truly genuine and real on TV.I saw how hard you fought for the love the you had for him and I am truly,truly sorry for what has transpired. I don't know you personally, but please continue being the sweet, loving person that you are and don't let this tragedy transform you into someone that you are not. My prayers are with you and his family. Please stay strong. I am very sorry, keep your head up and fly above.....

Kandi,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you will find the strength to get through this. My family has experienced so much loss in the last 4 years, my son, 2 uncles, my brother and aunt have died since 2005, our house burnt to the ground and we lost everything,yet I try to see the good that came out of everything we lost. I hated when people said this to me during the tragidies, but yet I look back now and see what they meant. And this too shall pass. My thoughts and love are with you and your family.

I can't stop crying. I was about to give up on Atlanta Housewives until they got you. I've totally enjoyed the show since you are now on it and wait for your scenes to come on. I just watched the last episode. I'm totally shocked and saddened. I love God and I no he has his plans but I cant wait to ask him, "WHY?" For you and everyone else who are so loving and good people have to have such tragic events in their lives. I'm 38 and totally admire you and hope my daughter turns out as wonderful as you.

AJ was good to her and I'm sure in her mind he was a father figure. so Kandi I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with your family and his children

First, I would like to say to Kandi, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal, it will all be o.k. much love.
Second, I would like to say just a few words to Kandi'x mom.
I have a daughter 32 years old, I love her sooo much, and think the world of her. I too, want the very best for my daughter, and in that thought, we, as mothers, can sometime hold on too tight, be too discriminating, all in the name of love for our children. The most important thing though, is that ultimately, we want our children to be happy. In that, we have to let go, no matter how hard. My prayer is that in Kandi's next relationship, is that as her mom, you focus on Kandi's happiness. Let her be happy. She will make her own mistakes, and trust and believe, God will be there to close every wound, and soften every blow, no matter how much you want to take her in your arms and protect her. Let her go, unleash her wings, give her credit for the beautiful, smart, and talented young lady that she is. Just remember, with your love, and continued trust in your daughter, you, as mommy, will ALWAYS come first, and believe me, Kandi will see to it, because you trusted her enough to let her make her own decision about love, and she'll so appreciate you for that, and love you even more and more and more.From another MOM,
Much Love.

Firstly, let me start off by saying no one could ever fully understand how it feels to lose someone so dear to you unless they are in those shoes. Currently, my fiance is incarcerated for about 2 years and to me it feels like death, but your fiance is not coming back and that's what makes it unbareable, but you know what...everyone is right about things happening for a reason. You have to look at it like that....someone suggested that you document all the things you can remember about AJ, places you've gone, memories you share. It will help you heal. It's just like writing in your diary just your on personal AJ memoirs. I suggest you take this as a life's lesson learned and keep going. This is just the devil trying to bring you down while you're on that escalator to success. Don't lose focus or momentum. We all Love You!!! You are the best housewife of Atlanta, besides Lisa (lol). Your fans have you, your family, AJ's family and children in our prayers. Keep your head up high and shoot for the stars...You and AJ will meet again one day and I'm sure he would want you to make the best of your life while your still living it and continue to make him proud... xoxo

Kandi- i am so sorry for your loss. If one of us have not been through this ourselves, we can of course not imagine what you are going through. Even though all these people you dont even know and probably never will love you. U are the happiest person and it would be terrible if this kills your spirit. Be strong and one day you will be together again!
Can someone please tell me though, what happened? Car crash? I only heard he died not how...

Kandi,
My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Although, your heart is heavy and the pain seems endless. Just remember that God never gives up more than we can bare. Our Lord and Savior will give you strength.
Pslams 23: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. GOD BLESS!!!!!!

Kandi, I just heard about this tragedy after watching last night's episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta! I have been watching the show weekly and love your spirit. You, your family, and AJ's children are in my prayers. Stay strong and know GOD is with you at all times. HE will get you through this.

Wow Kandi, Im so sorry to hear about your loss i just found out today I tape the show every week and when I get time I watch it. Im so sorry for you and AJ's family's loss! I know you may not get this but because of you I came back to watch the show again. I wasnt going to watch it this year..I thought it was petty..but you seem like a good person with a good heart and you always smiled and you know we need that more in life not so much drama if people would smile more it would be different. Kandi, I know its going to be hard but just remember things happen for a reason. and one day you will be with AJ...I have lost alot of people in my time my mom, grandpa, grandma, aunt, one cousin and two uncle's and I knew I wasnt suppose to but I did ask GOD why? but the only thing that can get you through this is to just remember GOD needed an angel and that angel's name just happend to be Ashley "A J" Jewell. A J is with all of our lost loved ones. He is smiling down at you, he will always be in your heart..What got me through was to always talk about them like they where still here. That is how I got through it...I know not everyone is the same. but again Im so sorry! you are in on my prayer list....

OMG!!! I am so sorry for your loss. You just need to be strong for your(and his) family. Through this loss,with your career taking off,make it in honor of him.(as you prob.already know) I just dont understand why the lord takes the young good people out of this world!! I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Just keep your head up and shine like the star that you are, have been, and always will be. God Bless you and yours.

From the first moment I saw you on the show I loved your spirit and character. Kandi you are blessed even if you don't feel like it right now but know you have touched alot of us with your multi-talents. I've prayed for a guardian angel to spread it's wings around you and all the children. Time heals all wounds so take this time to mourn get more creative with your music. He's at peace and may you one day be also. I Love you, sister.

kandi you are a strong,caring,beautiful woman,i just wanted to tell you i lost my fiance tragically 5yrs ago this month,people will say they understand but i truly do and i am so sorry no one should ever have to feel that kind of pain,my heart goes out to you and the kids,remember no matter what anyone says every one mourns differently,something that helps me through the hard times is reading "foot prints in the sand" for a long time i drove myself crazy asking the question why,and today i still don't know i guess i've just come to terms with it....anyway i want you to know my heart,my thoughts,and my prayers are with you and the kiddos,stay strong,but remember you need your time and way to mourn....XOXOXO again my thoughts and prayers are with you as i have felt the pain you feel today
