Kandi Burress was Slain in a Fight last Saturday




The former fiance of one of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was killed in a fight outside his strip club in Georgia, authorities said Saturday.
Kandi Burruss, the newest member of the hit Bravo reality show, posted on her Twitter page about the death and asked for prayers for Ashley (A.J.) Jewell's six children.
Homicide detectives arrested the suspect, Fredrick Richardson, who has been charged with voluntary manslaughter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Jewell, 34, known as A.J., appeared regularly on the hit reality show, often clashing with Burruss's mother. He died of massive head injuries sustained while in a fight in the parking lot of an Atlanta strip bar called the Body Tap Club.
"Kandi is devastated as she is also mourning the death of her uncle, Ralph Leslie, and is attending his funeral today," TreMedia said in a statement on behalf of the reality star Saturday. "She has no statement to make at this time and asks for privacy. There are no final details on the death of AJ."
Jewell, who made several appearances with Burruss on the show, suffered massive head injuries during a fight late Friday outside the Body Tap Club in Atlanta, according to police.
Police arrested Fredrick Richardson hours later and charged him with voluntary manslaughter, officials said. Witnesses told Atlanta police Jewell fought with Richardson outside the skin palace.
Richardson also was injured in the fight but will be charged once he is released from Grady Memorial Hospital. A spokesman for the Atlanta cops said it was not clear what prompted the brawl.
Richardson was hospitalized with injuries he received during in the altercation, but will be jailed once he's released by medical staff.
Authorities are "trying to figure out [what happened]," Atlanta police spokesman Officer James Polite told the newspaper. "We had a pretty good number of witnesses that are being cooperative."

We are understand this thing Mackenzie phillips incest story

Mackenzie phillips incest story



For the second time in one week, Mackenzie Phillips sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Friday (September 25) to discuss her allegations of an over 10-year incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. This time she was joined by her younger sister Chynna.
Via satellite from New York, Mackenzie shared stories of the positive reaction she's received in the past days and responded to critics who questioned her decision to speak out.
The former child star of "One Day at a Time" returned to the Oprah Winfrey Show today to defend her decision to write her bombshell book "High on Arrival," in which she confessed to engaging in a 10-year
rock star John Phillips, the lead singer for the '60s group the Mamas and the Papas.
"It's been heartening and heartbreaking at the same time …with the way my family's reacting," she said about the response to her appearance on Wednesday.
But as the former actress and musician talked with Oprah Winfrey for the second time this week -- this time about the firestorm that erupted from her hour-long interview Wednesday -- she said she doesn't regret writing her memoir, "High on Arrival."
"I understand this is a difficult thing for my family," Phillips told Winfrey via satellite Friday, "but nobody's talking about this, and if I've started a national dialogue, then I'm forever grateful."
Phillips said she has gotten letters and Facebook messages from incest survivors, thanking her for coming forward.
"It's been heartening and heartbreaking at the same time," she said.
