We doubt this will sit well with The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Frederick Richardson, the man accused in the slaying of A.J. Jewell, the on-off fiancé of Housewives star Kandi Burruss, was released from Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail early Tuesday.

Richardson was sprung after posting $10,000 bond. While that may seem low, Magistrate Judge Karen Woodson said it was fitting with the crime, especially after an initial coroner’s report suggested the blood disorder sickle-cell anemia may have been a factor in Jewell’s death.

Richardson was taken into custody following an Oct. 2 brawl in the parking lot of Body Tap, an ATL strip club co-owned by Jewell, and charged with voluntary manslaughter. According to police, Richardson, a club employee, got into a slugfest with his boss. Jewell sustained a severe blow to the head and died several hours later.

No word yet on when Richardson is due back in court.
