ATLANTA — The former fiance of a cast member from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” died Friday night after a fight outside an Atlanta strip club, and police said they had charged a man in his death.

Atlanta police spokesman James Polite said Fredrick Richardson was charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Ashley “A.J.” Jewell , who died from massive head injuries after the fight in the parking lot of the Body Tap Club.

Jewell was engaged to “Housewives” cast member Kandi Burruss until August. He appeared in several episodes of the television show, which follows the lives of metro Atlanta socialites.
