A Dutch sperm donor who fathered hundreds of children has described a new documentary about him as "misleading".
A Netflix docuseries, released on Wednesday, focuses on the women who have had children using the sperm of Jonathan Jacob Meijer.
One woman has said she felt "betrayed, sad and angry" after finding out how many other children Meijer had fathered.
But Meijer told the BBC the documentary is deceptive because it gives prominence to those who are unhappy rather than the many families he says are grateful to him.
Responding to the interview, its executive producer described the claim that the majority of families are happy as "completely untrue".
In the interview, Meijer also said he sees "absolutely nothing wrong" with fathering hundreds of children.
The 43-year-old declined to be interviewed for the Netflix documentary, but he spoke to BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour on Wednesday.
"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."
Netflix told Woman's Hour it would not comment on Meijer's interview, but Natalie Hill, the documentary's executive producer, did speak to the programme.
"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.
"Fifty families made impact statements to the court about his lies, and pleaded with the judge that he stop. So this continued platform for Jonathan to talk about it being a handful of women is completely untrue."
Meijer has been a donor for 17 years. In many cases, he made donations privately, which meant dealing with the families directly rather than via a private clinic.
Some women who chose him as a donor say he did not make clear to them the extent of how many other children he had fathered.
"I'm conflicted because he told me back then that he was donating to five families," one mother, Natalie, told Woman's Hour.
"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."
Some women he has donated to have described him as "a narcissist", while others have suggested he represents a public health risk.
Asked if he thought his estimate of 550 children was a lot, Meijer said: "It is for a normal man, but not for a sperm donor.
"For a sperm donor it's quite common. They go up into the hundreds of children. They [the clinics] will ship the donor semen to multiple countries."
