Kandi Burruss’ ex-fiancé AJ ‘hated’ being on ‘Housewives’
October 5th, 2009 by Rodney Carmichael in Music newsFor Atlanta “Housewives” star Kandi Burruss, the tragic weekend death of her ex-fiancé Ashley “AJ” Jewell has only reminded her of how precious a commodity time can be. She writes about it in a recent blog posted on Hello Beautiful yesterday:
When you’re young you automatically assume that you got all the TIME in the world but then something like this happens and you realize that you’re not guaranteed TIME.
She also attempts to dispel the rumors and negative media portrayals that she feels persisted about Jewell as a result of their decision to expose their relationship on the ongoing season of the Bravo hit, “Real Housewives of Atlanta”:
A.J had a great spirit and he was a good man. He was a father of six kids but had other children that he raised and loved like his own, including mine. So AJ was a father to many. It truly bothered him the way he has been portrayed in the media and actually it has bothered me too. AJ was NOT a “Scrub” like so many people like to blog and say. He had his own when we got together. He did not need me for financial gain, nor did he use me to gain some type of celebrity. When we got together we had no clue that we would be on t.v.. In all actuality, A.J hated and was uncomfortable with being on camera. He also hated that we made the decision to be on the show. Off camera A.J was very charismatic and a friend to many. He believed in God and always genuinely tried to do the right thing.

Kandi no matter how strong you are this is truly devasting bcuz i seen the love in both of you that you had for eachother & i was for you accepting his proposal–im too in a relationship with a fantastic and charismatic guy that has 9 kids & i have none–its so challenging to be involved with such men to others but i had to learn to please what i find comforting–may God comfort you & you be strong for your daughter but most of all for yourself–from 1 ga peach 2 anotha

Hello Kandi, Sorry for the lost of your ex-fiance. I heard your Mom say she could see a truck coming and she wanted to save you the PAIN of getting hit and that she couldn’t explain why she felt the way she did. When I heard of A.J.’s death I could see the pain she saw that she could not explain. Just wondering. did you see it that way? May God bless you and your family.
