I just read this on another site, so sad and senseless. The saddest part really is that he had 6 kids that now don't have a daddy

Wow, that is really sad...God bless those babies.

I don't know how much truth there is to this, if any, but I read in another article that he's a deadbeat dad (with 4 different mothers involved) and it's been no secret on the show that Kandi's mother didn't like A.J. and didn't want her to marry him...when A.J. and his future MIL are in a room together, like at the recent photo shoot, you could cut the air with a knife. I actually really like Kandi, definitely my favorite of the bunch so I'm glad they added her to the show but there's just something about her fiance that I haven't cared about all season, and I even found myself thinking about it this morning as I was watching this weeks episode but this is very tragic, my heart goes out to her and his children.

What a waste.........SAD for those kids.........

My heart goes out to Kandi because she really loved AJ. Like many others, I myself never really saw him as a good match for her, BUT all that mattered was that she loved him, and now she is in so much pain.

You are spot on. I am sure she is hurting. But I agree with her Mother & her friend. It would be hard to with someone & 4 other moms.

I read an interview last month in which Kandi said they had broken up (from her tone, she seems to have realized some of what people were warning her about was true). Now whether they had gotten back together SINCE then, I don't know, and I'm sure she still will be stricken by his death either way.

I feel for his family, having lost another family member to a drunk driver so recently.

Since posting on here yesterday I came across an article that stated they had ended their engagement and broke up, I didn't realize that because they haven't got to that point in the show yet this season but as you said, she's bound to be very struck by his death regardless.

The altercation happened at a strip club, and one report said he was a partial owner. So that might be another reason why Kandi's mom was not too crazy about him for her daughter, and for her grand daughter.
