Outrage and Disgust Sparked Among Viewers of Documentary on Man with 1000 Kids
Netflix’s latest docuseries, “The Man with 1000 Kids,” has stirred up shock and outrage among viewers. The three-part documentary, which debuted on July 3, delves into the controversial story of Dutch musician and sperm donor Jonathan Jacob Meijer. Meijer made headlines after confessing to fathering over 500 children, leading to a ban on further donations. The series also sheds light on another donor named Leon, who allegedly competed with Meijer to sire the most offspring, with around 415 children attributed to him. Meijer denied allegations of a rivalry with Leon.
The revelations shared by affected mothers in the series have triggered strong reactions from viewers. Many have expressed anger and disgust at the actions of Meijer and Leon. Social media users took to Twitter to voice their outrage, with one user condemning the situation as “disgusting on so many levels” and calling for repercussions for the donors.
The documentary has left many viewers speechless, with one individual comparing it to the shocking revelations in the 2022 documentary “Our Father.” The series has been described as “enraging” and “f***ed up” by viewers who were taken aback by the deceit and manipulation depicted in the stories.
