Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleFormer child star Brandon "Bug" Hall, who often makes headlines for his debatable words and actions, is once again at the center of a viral controversy. 41-year-old Bug, who is the parent of five children alongwith his wife, Jill Hall, is set to welcome the sixth baby. He has launched a GoFundMe page, seeking donations to cover bills and set up their home ahead of the baby's arrival.
Bug's move drew heavy criticism from netizens, who told him to stop having kids if he can't afford to raise them. The actor fired back by saying that he would keep impregnating his wife and have as many children as they want. Amid this, online users dug into his past to see how he treats his kids. It brought back the controversy where Bug was heard calling his son his 'heir' and his daughters' dishwashers.'
Bug Hall faced flak for referring to his son as his 'heir' and his daughters 'dishwashers'
Bug and Jill Hall are pregnant for the sixth time and are facing financial difficulties ahead of the baby's birth. When they welcomed their fifth child, Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett, Bug took to social media to share that he was elated as the little one was their first son after four daughters. At that time, the Little Rascals star took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared photos of Jill with the newborn in the hospital room, captioning them, 'I have an heir.'
Bug's choice of words didn't sit right with social media users who questioned why he didn't mention his older daughters. The actor hit back at the critics, pointing out that he already has four daughters, and wrote: 'I said heir, not dishwasher.' His response heightened the hate train against him, with social media users calling him "awful" and "disgusting." "I pray God protects those precious little girls from your toxicity and projected self-loathing until they're old enough to disown you," one user on X wrote.
Another commented, "You're disgusting. You're publicly demeaning your daughters to try and generate rage bait clicks." Bug Hall remained unfazed regarding the criticism and said that he made the comment in jest. He defended his 'joke,' saying he and his wife, Jill, shared a 'good laugh' over the remark while she was in labor. Slamming a critic over their lack of understanding humor, Bug wrote:
"I made the same joke to my wife while she was in labor. We both had a good laugh. Hard as it is for you to comprehend, most normal people are still rich in humor and joy. Stay miserable, curmudgeon."
Bug Hall hit back at the criticism over launching a GoFundMe, said he will keep having more kids
Bug Hall has been replying to users on X (formerly Twitter) who questioned why he needed donations ahead of the birth of his sixth child. One critic asked him to find employment and stop having more children if he can't afford to support them. However, Bug replied, writing:
"I'm going to keep impregnating my wife."
Another X user suggested he move to a small town, use his skills, and find a job like others. But Bug rejected the suggestion, writing, "Nah. I'm busy building a farm and feeding my family and community." The former child actor also replied to the claims that he was not working.
When a supporter explained that Bug was trying to become self-sufficient while building a home, he agreed. In fact, Bug mentioned that the past year was particularly demanding for him. He said, "I mostly worked full time, while also working to prepare our new home site." Bug's responses show that he doesn't think his current lifestyle has any issues, and he wasn't going back to a conventional career by choice.
For those who don't know, Bug Hall began a fundraiser with a USD 2000 goal because his family moved to a new property in rural Arkansas, and he is preparing to welcome his sixth child. He explained that they were living in a camper as they worked on their new home.
