The prolific sperm donor admits he “got too carried away,” but says the docuseries misrepresents him and his motives.
“They deliberately called The Man With 1000 Kids, when it should be ‘the sperm donor who helped families conceive with 550 children’,” Meijer told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. “So already from the start, they are deliberately deceiving and misleading.” In a New York Times report from 2021, Jonathan Jacob Meijer provided an even lower number. “I have approximately 250 children,” he said then. “Assumptions of 1,000 are ridiculous. I am disappointed by the obsession with the numbers.
You’re the guy that comes along with the winning lottery ticket, that’s the feeling you bring these people. It’s something magical.” According to Meijer, the series is a result of cherry-picking dissatisfied recipients. “I think Netflix did a great job at selecting five families out of the 225 families that I’ve helped, and they will definitely tell you something else,” he told the BBC. He also hasn’t watched the show, he told the Independent.
