The subject of Man with 1,000 children defends himself in the midst of the premiere of the new Netflix documentary.
In fact, Jonathan Jacob Meijerwho previously admitted to spending up to 50,000 hours at sperm donation clinics over the past 15 years, denied claims he fathered up to 1,000 children.
“I don't know where they get that number from, I don't know what they're basing it on,” the Dutch content creator shared in a June 2024 YouTube video, noting that the most accurate number is around 550. So somehow they manage to magically add 450 kids to my records.”
While the document, published July 3, alleges Meijer as a con artist who “is accused of traveling the world conning mothers into having their babies on a grand scale,” according to Netflix's description, Meijer called the “sensationalist and misleading” project.
“I don't know much about it because I didn't participate,” he added. “It's what they think of me and what other people say about me. I was right not to participate for myself, personally, because they wanted to say it first. The Fertility Scammer. That's not a title I can work with.”
