Brandon “Bug” Hall ain’t just a little rascal anymore … people online are calling him a big sexist — ’cause he cracked a joke about his daughters only being good for household chores.
The actor — who played Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 classic comedy “The Little Rascals” — posted about the birth of his son, Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett, earlier this week … saying in the post he finally has an “heir.”
Problem is … Hall’s actually got four daughters — and, his newborn just happens to be his first son.
When fans pointed this out, Bug responded by writing, “I said heir not dishwasher” … implying his daughters are really only good for doing the chores in the house.
Unsurprisingly, this led to a torrent of backlash … with some telling Hall they found his joke offensive and others straight up accusing the former child star of sexism.
But, Hall’s not backing down … saying he made the same joke while his wife, Jill, was in labor — and the two shared a laugh about it. He’s calling out the overly sensitive online here, saying most people, like him, still have a good sense of humor.
Worth noting … on his social media, Hall describes himself as “patriarch to 5 ladies” and a “medieval moralist” — whatever that means.
Since “The Little Rascals” came out, Hall worked consistently in Hollywood … with work in “Hercules,” “Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves!” and guest spots on several big-time TV shows — like “Criminal Minds” and “CSI: NY.”
