00:00What? I can talk to Darla anytime I want. Spikey's not the boss of me.
00:07Brandon Bug Hall, who played Alfalfa in 1994's The Little Rascals, is defending himself after the internet blasted a GoFundMe
00:15he posted to support his family.
00:17And despite the backlash, he's already tens of thousands of dollars ahead of his original goal of just $2,000.
00:24Hall's GoFundMe has already raised over $27,000 after the former child actor posted that he needed financial help, before
00:31welcoming his sixth child.
00:33He wrote,
00:34It's now six years since I self-cancelled, and I've avoided doing one of these in all that time.
00:39I always said this was my choice, and so I didn't want to offload the glorious burden of it unless
00:44there was no other choice.
00:46Well, here we are.
00:47Hall went on to say that he had fallen behind on a few bills after moving to a new property
00:52in Arkansas, adding,
00:53My hope is to finalize everything here over the next two weeks so I can take some work until the
00:58baby arrives.
00:59Times are hard for everyone, and I'm no more deserving than anyone else.
01:03But I ask in your charity that you help where you can, whether monetarily, by sharing this, or by prayer.
01:09But The Little Rascal star was slammed by many people online, and he's actively replying to both supporters and haters.
01:16One user wrote to him,
01:18Put your pride down and get a real job. This is embarrassing. Stop impregnating your wife when you can't even
01:23keep your family afloat.
01:25Adding,
01:26If you don't want advice, then stop putting your business online.
01:29Hall bluntly replied,
01:30I'm going to keep impregnating my wife with a thumbs up emoji.
01:34He even shared the New York Post's reporting on the story, adding commentary on the headline.
01:39The controversial GoFundMe comes just months after Hall was arrested and charged in Ohio in April with failure to appear
01:46for a court date over an October 2024 traffic citation.
01:50And back in 2020, he was arrested in Texas for huffing air duster cans.
01:54In January, Hall told the Daily Mail that he had taken a vow of poverty and was living off the
01:59grid as a, quote, radical Catholic extremist.
