Make Page Six a Preferred Source Brandon “Bug” Hall’s GoFundMe payout was “paused for review” after fans reported the account.
On Monday, the “Little Rascals” star took to X to share that he temporarily cannot receive the more than $27,000 that has been donated to him.
A fan urged Hall to “accept the full amount” he received in donations, although the former actor said he would take his account down once it reached his original $2,000 goal.
“Oh I am, brother. I argued with multiple friends who tried to convince me to keep it up,” Hall replied in a tweet.
“I told each of them that a man always does what he says,” he added.
“The automated lockdown because of petty leftists is clearly God’s will. I’m going to get my tractor/sawmill and get to work building.”
Page Six has reached out to Hall for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The news comes after Hall, now 41, launched a fundraiser to help with expenses ahead of the birth of his sixth child with his wife, Jill.
“It’s now six years since I self-cancelled, and I have avoided doing one of these in all that time,” he wrote on a GoFundMe page launched on Thursday.

“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,” he continued.
Hall confessed in the description that he’d “fallen a little behind” on “the few bills” they have after moving to a property in rural Arkansas — including a phone, propane for their camper and “an unexpected electric hookup service fee.”
The former child star said while the family is “overjoyed to be where [they] are” and “enjoying roughing it,” the impending arrival of their sixth child is “less than a month away.”
“I really need some help getting the last few things buttoned up beforehand,” he wrote.
Hall wrote that he’s “no more deserving than anyone else,” but still solicited “your charity” in the form of financial help, sharing the fundraiser, “or by prayer and sacrifice” for the family.
The “Green Mile” star shared a photo of the family — which showed Jill and their daughters wearing matching garb — in a forest setting. By Saturday evening, the fundraiser had raked in over $16,000 — far past his original $2,000 goal.
One of the top donations came from Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, the girlfriend of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
After an influx of criticism over the GoFundMe, Hall defended his decision to start one.
When one netizen urged Hall to “get a real job” and to stop getting his wife pregnant, the actor replied: “I’m going to keep impregnating my wife 👍.”
Hall was arrested and charged with failure to appear in court in Ohio back in April over a traffic citation incurred in October 2024.
Several years prior, in 2020, Hall — who rose to fame playing Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 film “The Little Rascals” — was arrested for huffing air duster cans in Texas.
The actor told the Daily Mail in January that he was living off the grid with his family as “a radical Catholic extremist.”
He also said he’d “a vow of poverty” and was resolved to “maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible” after donating his life savings and material goods to charity.
On X, he’s regularly shared details of his “simple” existence — sans computer or television — with their four daughters and one son.
In a polarizing September 2025 X post, Hall — who exchanged vows with Jill in 2017 — referred to his son as an “heir” and his four daughters as “dishwashers.”
When asked by a commenter, “heir to what?” Hall replied, “My 80 acre farm, self built farm house, chapel, and anything else that belongs to me. He’ll be charged with replacing my headship over the family.”
On the platform, Hall labels himself a “Self-Canceled Emmy Nominee” and a “Medieval Moralist,” as well as a “Peasant,” a “Patriot” and, in a nod to his past career, a “Rascal.”
