The man accused in the weekend slaying of a Real Housewives of Atlanta star will be spending some quality time in a Georgia jail.

Fredrick Richardson is currently being held in Fulton County Jail after being denied bond at a court hearing today, Tracy Flanagan of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office tells E! News.

The 45-year-old was booked Monday evening as soon as he was discharged from a local hospital. He faces a voluntary manslaughter charge in the death of Ashley "A.J." Jewell, the on-off fiancé of new Housewives addition Kandi Burruss., who says she was "devastated" by the tragedy.

Under the guard of authorities, Richardson had been recovering from his own injuries following the strip-club brawl that left Jewell dead on Friday night.

Richardson is due back in court on Oct. 20.
