*There are multiple documented incidents of Mateen bullying classmates in elementary, middle, ''and'' high school.

*He reportedly began bringing a gun to college classes in the wake of the Virginia Tech Shooting.

*He was reportedly physically and verbally abusive towards his first wife, Sitora Alisherzoda Yusufiy.

*He was reportedly [[Domestic Abuse|physically and verbally abusive]] towards his first wife, Sitora Alisherzoda Yusufiy.

*Though he was never formally diagnosed, his first wife believed that he was bipolar and also reported that he had been addicted to steroids for a period of time.

*Some believe that Mateen may have been a closeted homosexual or bisexual, as he allegedly had accounts on apps such as Grindr and that a secondary motive for the shooting may have been out of self-hate. This has never been proven and is merely speculation. Though Mateen had shown signs of [[homophobia]], it has been confirmed that he did not pick Pulse for the shooting because of its clientele, and that his sole motivation for the attack was on behalf of ISIS.

*Prior to pledging allegiance to ISIS, Mateen claimed to be a member of [[Hezbollah]].
