Shameless Little Rascals star begging for money after choosing to live off-grid vows to 'keep impregnating' his wife ahead of arrival of sixth child

Brandon 'Bug' Hall of Little Rascals fame has vowed to 'keep impregnating' his wife after he faced backlash over a fundraiser seeking financial assistance for his growing family. Hall, 41, and his wife Jill are expecting their sixth child and are now seeking the public's assistance after falling 'a little behind' on their few bills ahead of their baby's arrival. The GoFundMe - which was originally intended on raising $2k - has thus far raised over $27k and attracted a number of critics. But Hall is digging his heels into his decision to continue expanding his family in the face of the criticism. 'Put your pride down and get a real job,' one netizen wrote. 'This is embarrassing, stop impregnating your wife when you can’t even keep your family afloat. Set your priorities straight, practice NFP. If you don’t want advice then stop putting your business online.' 'I'm going to keep impregnating my wife,' Hall replied with a thumb's up emoji. 'Move to a small town and put your skills to work and get a job like everyone else,' another posted.

I'm busy building a farm and feeding my family and community,' he said. One X user, who noticed the success of the fundraiser, said: 'Oh wow lol! Good on you brother. Ave Maria.''It's a blessing beyond anything I could have expected. The God of surprises indeed,' another said. The Little Rascals star launched a GoFundMe fundraiser asking for financial help as he and his wife Jill await the birth of their sixth child.Hall, who previously told the Daily Mail he was living off-the-grid as a 'radical Catholic extremist' under a 'vow of poverty,' stated they recently moved into a camper van on new land in Mountain View, Arkansas and needed money to pay off a few overdue bills and support the expanding family.'It's now six years since I self-cancelled, and I have avoided doing one of these in all that time,' Hall wrote in the fundraiser description below a photo of the family wearing old-fashioned clothing.'I always said this was my choice, and so I didn't want to offload the glorious burden of it unless there was no other choice. Well here we are.'We've made it onto the new land in record time, but I'm a few materials short of having things working right, and I've fallen a little behind on the few bills we have (phone, propane for the camper, and an unexpected electric hookup service fee),' he explained.The former child actor said they were 'overjoyed' with where they were living, but needed some monetary assistance 'getting the last few things buttoned up' before the birth of the new baby in less than a month.Hall concluded: 'My hope is to finalize everything here over the next two weeks so I can take some work until the baby arrives. Times are hard for everyone, and I'm no more deserving than anyone else, but I ask in your charity that you help where you can, whether monetarily, by sharing this, or by prayer and sacrifice for the Hall-Barnetts of the Holy Cross.'Hall legally changed his name to Bug Hall-Barnett, incorporating the name of his stepfather, Mark Barnett, who helped raise him. Hall told the Daily Mail he had given up the money earned as a child star and donated his savings and most of his belongings.
