Jonathan Jacob Meijer is the subject of a new documentary titled The Man With 1,000 Kids.
A Dutch sperm donor who fathered hundreds of children has described a new documentary about him as "misleading".
In the interview, Meijer also said he sees "absolutely nothing wrong" with fathering hundreds of children. "I've spent the last four years speaking to families who have been impacted by Jonathan's lies. I've personally spoken to 45 or 50 families," she said. "It turned out in 2021 I read an article in a newspaper that it was hundreds of families. That's why I'm conflicted and don't agree with his methods."
"It’s undoubtedly fascinating viewing, albeit in a very grim way – and the revelations about sperm donation horrifying." Meijer pushed back on this suggestion, telling presenter Nuala McGovern the concern was based on cases where anonymous donors had been used, whereas his identity was easily available.
He continued donating in other countries until 2023, when one woman and a foundation supporting her filed a civil suit against Meijer, arguing he was increasing the risk of incest for his children. Asked if he saw any problem with his actions, Meijer said: "I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I think it's very good. I see that they have many friends, they meet with each other.
