Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss’ ex-fiance’ AJ Jewell was killed Saturday (Oct. 3) at Atlanta strip club Body Tap. According to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, AJ – who was rumored to be part owner of the club – died from head injuries after being involved in a fight in the club’s parking lot.
TMZ.com reported that sources claim the altercation that led to Jewell’s death was motivated by money, but an anonymous blogger posted a response that alleges it was jealousy that kicked off the attack. The posting reads as follows:
“First off it wasn’t bout money. Aj was jumnped by “Cornbread” the husband of BODY TAPS owner (Veronica). Cornbread had a partner with him who participated. Veronica is the one who drove AJ to the hospital instead of calling the ambulance. We believe AJ was killed at the BODY TAP during the fight and Veronica is covering it up in order to protect her husband. AJ was in the process of buying the club from them, Cornbread was jealous of AJ and Veronica being cool. Cornbread hit AJ in the head with a bottle which contributed to his death. Why would Veronica take AJ to the hospital instead of her husband who was bleeding everywhere????? Cause they made up the story that he was alive on the way there.”
Meanwhile, police have arrested a man named Fredrick Richardson and charged him with voluntary manslaughter in relation to Jewell’s death.
