‘Little Rascals’ star Brandon ‘Bug’ Hall refuses to return additional money from fundraiser, then tells fans, ‘I’m going to keep impregnating my wife’
Fans told him to "get a real job"
Former child star Brandon “Bug” Hall has refused to refund an additional $27,000 in funds raised from a GoFundMe campaign he set up after fans told him to “get a real job.” The former actor, best known for playing Alfafa in the 1994 comedy The Little Rascals, claimed that the excess funds were part of “God’s will” before claiming he would continue having children with his wife.
The 41-year-old, who is expecting his sixth child with his wife, set up the fundraiser to help cover “unexpected” costs and a “few bills” his family had to pay after moving away from Hollywood and choosing to live off-grid in Arkansas. “We’ve made it onto the new land in record time, but I’m a few materials short of having things working right,” Hall wrote in the GoFundMe description in which he asked for $2,000.
Hall’s fundraiser subsequently raised over $29,000, surpassing his intended goal by $27,000. However, the former Hollywood actor has since said that he does not intend to refund the additional cash. Speaking to Page Six, he said, “God’s will is always something that befuddles me.”
He also said that he “told everyone that once it reached $2,000, I was going to shut it down.” However, he claimed that GoFundMe locked him out of the fundraiser to complete a Trust and Safety investigation, preventing him from stopping the fundraiser after it hit its goal. “If that whole situation hadn’t happened, I would have been out of this whole thing at $2,000 and been happy,” he said.
Hall announced his plans for the additional money
Following the windfall, Hall said that he would keep the extra money. Fans became critical of Hall’s choice, with one fan, according to LadBible, telling him to “get a real job.” Another told the off-grid actor, “This is embarrassing, stop impregnating your wife when you can’t even keep your family afloat.” Hall responded by telling the fan, “I’m going to keep impregnating my wife.”
In other posts online, Hall claimed that he couldn’t delete the fundraiser due to it allegedly “being mass reported by all the usual suspects.” He later shared a screenshot showing that funds had been paused. A spokesperson for People told the outlet that “Our team is in touch with the organizer and is working with him to help ensure funds are delivered quickly and safely.”
Last year, Hall announced that his acting career was no longer “congruous” with his Catholic faith, leading to the actor donating his material possessions and committing to a “lay vow” in which he would attempt to live as free as possible from any need for income.
