The
ex-wife of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen said today she was shocked by her former
husband’s attack, but she recognized something deeply wrong with him years ago.
“He would be
perfectly normal and happy, joking, laughing one minute -- the next minute his
temper… his body would just [go] totally the opposite,” Sitora Yusufiy, 27,
told ABC News. “Anger, emotionally violent and that later evolved into abuse,
to beating.
“After being abused
and after trying to do that and see the good in him, I can honestly say this is
a sick person. This was a sick person that was really confused and went crazy,”
she said.
The two had met on the social networking site Myspace in
2008 and dated for a short period before getting married. At first, life as
newlyweds in Florida was normal, she said.
“He was a normal guy, joking, laughing, you know, like
having fun,” she said.
Mateen was religious
but not radical. Born in New York, Mateen came from an Afghan family but was
“Americanized,” Yusufiy said. Yusufiy, who now lives in Colorado, is
Uzbekistani but had lived in the United States for nearly a decade before the
marriage.
Yusufiy said Mateen desperately wanted to be a policeman
and hung out with a lot of cops, often going to the shooting range with them.
But just a few weeks into the marriage, Yusufiy said,
Mateen started showing another side, one of anger and control. She said Mateen
made her get a job and then took the money she made.
“It was just his personal form on control. He wanted to
control me and do whatever he [could] to keep me hostage,” she said.
When he was angry, he would sometimes rant about
homosexuals, Yusufiy said.
“In those moments of emotional instability, he would
express his anger towards [a] certain culture, homosexuality, because in Islamic culture, it is not really tolerated,
homosexuality. And I know at the time he was trying to get his life straight
and follow his faith,” she said.
The abuse only came to an end when Yusufiy’s family had a
dramatic falling out with Mateen’s family in 2009 and she said she was
“rescued” by her parents. Records show the two were officially divorced in
2011.
Yusufiy said she had
virtually no contact with Mateen since she left and cannot understand what led
him to open fire on a gay nightclub in Orlando overnight, leaving 50 people
dead and more than 50 others wounded. Yusufiy said that when she knew him, he didn’t
have any contact with terrorist organizations.
Law
enforcement officials said today that after Mateen’s assault began, he called
911 and pledged his allegiance to the Syria-based terror group ISIS.
When she walked out in 2009, Yusufiy assumed the “horrible
mistake” she had made was long behind her. Mateen had tried to contact her
through Facebook a year ago, she said, but she blocked him. Then she turned on
the news today.
“I
thought I had closed the chapter on this horrible mistake that I had gotten myself
into and forgot all about it and we’re free from it. But this is the most
shocking, heartbreaking experience,” she said.
Yusufiy
told ABC News she wanted to speak to offer her sympathies to the grieving
families, to provide as much information as she can and to say that it’s
“heartbreaking for Muslims, for any people, any religion, that this happens to
where one person is not stable and does something totally out of their mind and
it affects entire millions of [the] population.”
