"The Man with 1000 kids" says Netflix is misleading, he only has 550 children

"They deliberately called [the documentary] The Man With 1,000 Kids, when it should be 'the sperm donor who helped families conceive with 550 children'," he told the programme.
"So already from the start they are deliberately deceiving and misleading."
He continued: "I think Netflix did a great job at selecting five families [who are unhappy] out of the 225 families that I've helped, and they [the other families] will definitely tell you something else."

Meijer also traveled the world, providing donations in multiple countries, making a full count of the children with his DNA extraordinarily difficult to obtain. Lacking many options to take action, the parents finally went to court, seeking to prevent him from donating to anyone else.

Produced by the makers of “Lover, Stalker, Killer,” “The Man With 1000 Kids” begins in almost whimsical fashion, interviewing various parents – from single mothers to lesbian couples to a man who, after his second marriage, couldn’t have his vasectomy reversed – who found Meijer online, liked the image he presented and availed themselves of his services.
