Bug Hall has defended his GoFundMe campaign after raising $27,000 towards completing a new home, dismissing criticism of his decision to ask the public for money.
The former Little Rascals actor said over the weekend that he intended to continue expanding his family despite the backlash. Hall and his wife, Jill DeGroff, recently moved to Arkansas with their five children and are expecting a sixth baby.
Hall said the fundraiser was needed after unexpected bills left him short of the money required to finish the house.
The campaign prompted a strong reaction online, with critics questioning why he had sought financial help months after allegedly saying he would not do so. One person told Hall to find a job and stop having children.
He replied: “I’m going to keep impregnating my wife.”
Responding to another person who urged him to get employment, Hall said: “Nah. I’m busy building a farm and feeding my family and community.”
Hall, who played Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 children’s film, was arrested in April on a warrant for missing a court date linked to a traffic citation issued in October 2024.
