The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kandi Burruss

Kandi's official statement on the passing of Ashley AJ Jewell:

"I am devastated by the loss of AJ. His death comes on the heels of the passing of my beloved Uncle Ralph, and with both of them gone my heart is heavy with grief. I had spoken to AJ two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital. Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him... But now it's too late.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends -- and that means my twitter and facebook friends as well -- for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences. I make it through these difficult days because of you. I know this is cliché' but I urge everyone to treat each day as if it's your last and tell that special someone you love them today. Don't wait. It may be too late.

Please pray for his children, his family and Riley - they too are grieving the loss of an incredible man, son, brother and father. I wish you all had gotten to know the AJ we all knew and loved."

Hello Kandi,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and AJ family. You are a strong-minded sister, but also a delicate rose in a glass. On the show, you proved it to all single mothers in the world that "THEY CAN DO IT JUST HAVE FAITH". Thats awesome to me, seeing that I am a single mother and loving every moment of it with my daughter. I'm looking forward of listening to your CD. Because I know your songs would be my motivation to keep it moving and let the haters talk. Especially the uuuugly looking ones. Ha! Ha! Keep God first while your holding your daughter hand and He will hold the other one.

God Bless,

I'm sooooo happy to see one of God's angels. My prayers goes out to you and your family. You were the only one on the show you who was truly down to earth. When I saw you on "The Monique Show". I was impress of how much class you have and how much of a postive energy you set off for our millennium sisters. HANDS UP TO KANDI! Keep your head up and God first because he has a beautiful journey for one of his EARTH ANGEL.

Hello Kandi, #1 as a real women I just want to commend you for you being you. 2nd you are an great person and you are the reason why I tuned in more to the show. I have thought that you and Aj looked so good together, also I'm a single mother with two beautiful girls and it's hard to find someone who loves you for you. I felt for you when your mother could not accept the man of your life. As long as your child and you are happy your mother should of been happy for you. You remind me of myself in so many ways,except you have the money and a great life. I have a great life and my girls and some day I will have the freedom of financial stability, until then we will meet in a later time. Take care and You will survive and come above all the hater's.

Hello Kandi,
My prayers are with you and your family along with the family of A.J. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I have been a fan of yours since my early college years when I first heard Xscape. You have an amazing gift and I hope that you receive back in your life the gift that your music has given us. I can't wait for the new CD! Best wishes!

Kandi,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot begin to understand or imagine such a great loss. The only positive notion I can give is that he is now in a place where he can always look over and protect you. Be strong and each day will get a little easier.

Your Texas Fan,

Hey Kandi. i fell so sad right now, i can't imagine what you are going through. I prayed and asked god to give you the strength to go through this. You are a very strong woman and i know you will get through eventually. I am a Tarus so i know that there is nothing that you cant handle. It will take some time and strength but be strong and use the positive moments that you had with AJ to carry you through this difficult time. I have not seen the show since October 9th because i moved back in Jamaica but i tuned in on the blog all the time. I will continue to pray for you.

Kandi, Hope this messages finds you on a good day,After we lose someone we love those type of days take a while to come around.But I hope you feel the peace and presence of Gods love all around you in days to come.I heard a very interresting quote the other day and it said I ask myself what I need to be in this life and Brave was the only word I could come up with.(Sandra Bullock). If you have one of those mornings where you wake up and just want to pull the covers back over your head maybe this little quote I found will come to your mind, It has gotten me threw some pretty rough times in my life. To me all the women on the show are just like the rest of us women out here living life and doing what we do to survive.After all I think that there is a little bit of NeNe, Kim, Lisa and Kandi,Sheree in all of us.Keep the Faith and Music alive in your life.

I know it hurts but just remember that he loves you. I too lost my fiance (and sweetheart of 7 years) suddenly a little over a year ago and I am sorry that you have to experience this. Life is crazy right now so I'll pray for you that God will hold on to you and help you find a way. It's hard to get thru it, trying to put the pieces back together, but sometimes it helps to know that you're not alone. I'm praying you thru my sister..

Khandi, Ive been a fan of your since your first XSCAPE single! I was sooo excited to hear that you were joining the cast.I am sooooo sorry Khandi for your lost. You guys were a truely beautiful couple.Although I dont know either of you personally, you seemed so happy. You would glow when you were around him and when you spoke of him. I was behind you 100% when it came to your relationship because despite the issue, you were happy. Thats all that counted.Khandi you are such a kind hearted and real women. My whole family sends thier condolences. Be strong girl, I know your going to have your hard days, but you will get through them. Your a blessed woman and hes in a better place watching over you. Times will get better, just keep being blessed Khandi!

Hey Kandi. It's me again. By the way. I think you should cover Teena marie's "Irons In The Fire". I think you would knock it out of the park! :)

D. Gibson

Kandi, there are few words to express how very special of a person you are. I have watched you grow from your childhood being one of my favorite singers, to one of the most sought after, talented, and captivating women I have ever seen. I am so sorry for your loss, and I to understand the feelings that you endure everyday. Keep in mind, you have a very health and happy life with you, your daughter, and the rest of your family. And with God at your side you will shine high above all the rest. Do what you do, and don't stop for anything except a nice bowl of creole gumbo, lol, your completion is only a step away. Look at the stones that make you stumble, they are only the things you get over to find the better path.

Much Love!

Marsha P. Mattis

Hey Kandi girl, first I would like to say that you and your family are in my prayers during this tragic loss. Despite your differences or the things that you and AJ were going through you two really complimented each other. He seems to know how to make you smile when you were down. I loved seeing you both together, just know he is still with you but in a better place.

On another note, Housewives of ATL is my number show right now...you are my fave on the show because of your realness, you are family oriented, down2earth and your a God-fearing woman. You have been blessed with so many talents and are using them like u should...I see alot of me in you, so does my husband..he just laughs... Your new song is Hot "I Fly above all the Haters" and that is my Anthem right now....Keep doing ya thing girl and I will be checking ur boutique "TAGS" out when I come back to ATL in January...You know u be wearing those shoes girrrrl....God Bless...Luv ya!!!

Hi Kandi-
I'm a fan of all the housewives show- As far as Atlanta, I like most of the ladies- However, You have definintly become my favorite- you have class, you don't take anyones BS- And you have class- I am so sorry that you lost A.J- I know how hard it is to lose someone you love- most of all when they are taken from u too soon. It's hard to make sense of it but God works in mysterious ways. A.J will always be with you and his children. Although he is gone- he Will never truly be gone.. I have a question, which I dont know if I'll be able to get the answer. I wanted to know how your Mom felt when he passed- Because Of her overwhelming love for you, she did not want you and A.J to be with one another- I know that she would never wish him harm- So I wonder if your Mom felt any guilt for not liking him- I really want to know how she dealt with his passing? Did you feel any resentment towards her for trying to keep you apart- and than he dies- You are a good lady with a heart of gold- I wish you all the happiness and success in your life.

piere-retta

First my condolences on your loss. Second congrats on your success in your life thusfar. Third I think that your mother is a wise woman and mothers' can see farther than their daughters at most times. I think the show has shown a side of you that isn't appropriate. I feel that you did NeNe wrong on the show when you took up so called friendship with Kim. You probably should have left well enough alone. I feel that you should have not been on the single record at all, not even as a back-up singer. If the whole idea was NENES'. I feel that Kim should have went it alone. I think that it was wrong and vinditive. You are a beautiful young lady and you should keep it that away. You see Tiny and Tonya is just keeping it real.

11/11/2009 - 10:45am
liking your style

Kandi,
I commend you, with the strength you have been given i don't know what it is like to lose someone you are in love with i do know what it feels like to lose someone you love, my mom passed away about 2 yrs ago, and boy it is still a battle, but we know god give us only what we can bare, he calls all the shots, i beleive he has plans for AJ, you look so good, you truly are keeping it together, just want you to know that you are one of my favorites out of all the housewives, you got class and a style of your own, one day Kandi i hope my daughters and i run into you some where in Atlanta, they would love to meet you, me too! stay strong and keep doing what you do, keeping the drama down some people thrive on that life is precious and too short for everyday mess!!!!!

My condolences to you and your family.
I really enjoyed you & your family this season. It was refreshing to see a woman in ATL making their money honestly without depending on a male. Last season, one aspect of the show that I didn't like is most of the women were married to athletes. Which is a big difference that the other Housewives Shows. I'm glad you decided to join the cast.

Hi Kandi,

I just wanted to start by saying how sorry I am for your loss. You were such an inspiration to me this season, because I am actually going through the same situation you were. My boyfriend has 3 kids and my mother disapproves for the same reasons your mother did. I love him so much, like the way I could see you loved AJ. I also love my mother. Its just so difficult. Is there any advice you could give me based on your experience and now your tragic loss? It just seems to be such a shame because it was obvious you two did love one another, but all others could see were flaws and doubt. Thats just like my situation. If you could maybe email me and we could chat, I would deeply appreciate it because your story touched me and saddened me in many ways.

Thank you,
Jennifer

I love the way that you've stayed grounded and humble through your fame and fortune. Like a lot of people, you were my favorite on the show. I was telling someone that you're the only one with their own money. The rest of them married into money or getting it from someone else. I loved you in escape and it was nice to see that you're still blessed. Just keep the faith and everything will be alright.

You are my Housewives favorite! Our family's prayers and thoughts are with you as your heart continues to heal and mourn the loss of AJ. You bought class to this season of the ATL Housewives. Thank you for just keeping it real for the cameras and for being so down to earth. It was truly refreshing! Peace, blessings and best wishes as you continue your music. Looking forward to supporting your EP on Itunes.

Kandi,

Just wanna say that I will keep you in my prayers. Life is so precious and we all have to remember that. Never take anything for granted. Never waste a moment. I recently had a cousin that was killed tragically in Trinidad. He never saw it coming and leaves behind two kids. Life sometimes does not seem fair sometimes. Now I cherish my family and close friends even more.

Keep on making great music.

Only love is real

Hello Kandi,
I am very sorry for your loss. I just wanted to say that the Atlanta Housewives were my favorite of all the Real Housewives shows (sad it is over already). Further, out of all the wives you are the most real, the most compassionate, and you have the most class by far! I wish you all the luck in the world with your career. You are a very gifted young woman.

I do think it is a good idea to utilize Kim as much as you can. People don't like her, however, she is very fun to watch. Anyway, I am hoping for a season 3 with you girls, and please take care. Stay real!!

Sincerely and respectively,
T

Sorry for your lost, but time does heal all wounds...We love you and believe that in time that Nene will realize that she owes you an apology, until then just keep doin you "Boo"!!

Saw you on the reunion. Glad you are staying busy and will continue to pray for you in your loss. You reallty helped Kim's voice. Just do not get tooo close to her. She is changeable.

Kandi I want you to know that out of all the women in the series I feel that you are the most stable. You have a good head on your shoulders. The other wives need to be in "therapy" seriously!....Please continue to stay focused and I'm sure that you will attract the right person to you. I wish you all the happiness, and keep listening to your Mom. She has your best interest at heart.

Kandi- I just wanted to tell you that I too, am sorry for your loss. Don't worry about not saying "everything" that you wanted to say to A.J. He knew how much you loved him and how much he ment to you. A person can tell that just by watching episodes of the show. A person can also tell just how much he loved you as well. What you both shared was something very special and he knew that. I hope that your pain from this loss is getting better with each new day. You seem like such a wonderful person and I am so sorry that this had to happen. Take care and I hope your days get better. Keep smiling :)

First, I am so sorry for your loss. I have recently started watching your show. I have to say, you are my favorite of all the women. You seem so real, down to earth and I enjoy the show when you are on it. I love your music also and wish you the best with the new album. My daughter Kallie who is 17, is into country music and wants so bad to make it, and she is really great. She is a great kid and a honor roll student, she realizes how difficult it can be and of course, has a back up plan. I think what you did for Kim was great and I only hope and pray something or someone like you will come into my daughter's life. She so deserves it, she has a rough childhood and has risen above all of the difficult times. Best wishes, Leslie\

Kandi you brought class to the Real Housewives of Atlanta and you were the only "real" person on the show as far as I am concerned. You have made a name for yourself have an incredible talent and yet you can see that you have not let any of the success you have achieved go to your head. Unlike the other women involved in the show, you can see that just the tiny glimpse of celebrity the other women have gotten from being on the show, has given them GIGANTIC heads! I am sorry for your loss with your Uncle and AJ, your Uncle cannot be replaced and neither can AJ. But just remember that God has a plan and someone in store for you that neither you or your mother will be able to resist! Peace!

Kandi i believe that you are the realist person on the show and in real time. you don't need my advice you show that you are a balanced human being. You are the most attractive and the most sanely of them all. I give my condolence to your fiance and uncle. All i can say is that you are a good example of how a woman should conduct herself in the publics eye...

Yeah, everyoned picked up that there was something between Kandi and NeNe. Kandi, you were the new kid on the block. You had to stand back and check out everyone. What else are you suppose to do? Keep your head up girl. Forget these people talking about you crying. I would rather see you cry then you to hold it end and it cause some health problems because it will. You are a strong black one. You haven't made it as far as you have for the heck of it. I am looking forward to seeing more of you. You are my favorite. I hope you and Kim become the best of friends.

Kandi you are the truth, classy & a good mom. Being a good mom and respecting your mom so much on the show, really impressed me, because I know sometimes mom's can be overbearing but you listened and did not disrespect her. You are what Kim needed this season, because personally I think last season the girls were too hard on Kim and she got a bad rap. You were my fave and Kim second. You made her a better person, you'll were each others allies. My condolences for your loss. Keep doing what u doing girl and I am waiting for that cd to drop. Stay strong mama cause you doing the damn thing!

Hi Kandi,

I must say that you are my favorite out of all the ATL Housewives. I was saddened for you when I heard about A.J. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I heard that you're not coming back for season 3? If that's the case, I may not watch the show anymore. You keep it real and the only one who has some sense!! I enjoy watching your scenes.

I am waiting for your CD to drop, you are HOT and I love your raspy voice. Owwww!

I'm surprised you said that Nene was your favorite from Season One. It sure didn't look that way when watching your first meeting with each other.

You are a kind and gentle spirit. It's refreshing to see that you are uncomfortable with conflict and have a positive outlook on life. I saw the episode where you were rehearsing and coming up with songs. You are so very talented. Wish you all the best!!

Kandi... You are one of the main reasons I love to watch the show. I just can't get enough of you. I just watched the Reunion Special. You are pushing your album back. I can't wait to buy it. Please tour in Seattle. I am really sorry about A.J.

God Bless You and I can't wait to see you next season!

Kandi as so many have already expressed, I would like to addd my condolences for the sudden shocking loss of AJ, your song is a wonderful tribute to him. It is refreshing to have you on the show as a less diva-esque member who helps to level out the group. I hope you find continued success w/ ur music career and on the show (even though not technically a "housewife").It is none the less refreshing to see a single career woman, making on her own merits only, in a world that all too often, especially in the south, recognizes those from, or of,a part of a "couple". May the wind always be at your back (or under your wings).Take care.

hey there kandi....i usually don't get into writing on blogs or anything like that but i couldn't help myself. first, im soo sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers. secondly, watching the show this season i really learned alot about myself and how important it is to "fly above" EVERYTHING that brings me and my family down. i'm tired of letting people control my thoughts and actions by their "opinions". so lastly, i am feeling you and your attitude on life, my new theme now is also "fly above". it makes me breathe a little easier and gives me motivation to keep on going.......no matter what anyone else thinks!

thanks for being you! and keep on going....

Kandi, I just want say that I enjoyed seeing you on the show. At the start of the season I pulled up YouTube and introduced my daughters to some of your music and beginnings with Xscape. We sat here my computer for the longest listening to your songs. They want Ipods for christmas and they want most yours songs old and new in their Ipods.

Just wanted you to know that your are still influencing your girls.

DO WHAT YOU DO KANDI!!!!!!!!

Kandi, I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother, Naomi Stevens, passed-on last Monday (10/26). She raised me; she was my mother, father (I dont' know him), my grandfather (passed away in 2000 but they were separated & talking about getting back together before be died), and my grandmother. She lived with me until Dec. of 2007 (I'm 33) when she had a stroke and I woke to her on the floor. After the stroke she had a fear of falling, which meant that she was going to have to start using a wheelchair nad live in a nursing home. She was my everything. Ever since she couldn't live with me any longer, I was with her every night while she was in the nursing home. Every night I stayed with her until she started to fall asleep. Though I understand how fortunate I am for the time we had, I ask of you to share how you coped with the loss of AJ. My grandmother was who my life was surrounded around and now she's gone. How did you cope? How did you grieve? I'm struggling and hope that you can add some insight. Thank you for your time and I think that you are an amazing strong woman.

Khandi,

I am so sorry for your loss. Just by watching the show I could tell that AJ was a good and caring person and I know that it has to be so hard for you at this time. Stay strong my sista just feel blessed that you were able to spend time with a great person that cared about you and your beautiful daughter. Cherish the time that you were blessed to have with him. It is so hard to find good people these days but count your blessings that you were a part of his life. I cant wait for your album to drop you are such a talented artist and songwriter, God bless you and I miss you much sucess in your future.
