Ali Abulaban, who made millions of people laugh through his comedy TikTok videos portraying the Scarface character Tony Montana, was actually struggling with mental health in real life.
The 32-year-old TikTok star never revealed any problems in the media; however, according to his family and friends, his problems were very deep and began in early childhood.
Since he is now accused of the homicide of his wife, Ana, and her lover, Rayburn Barron, he is once again recalling his childhood memories one by one in the courtroom.
During the trial, Ali Abulaban’s mother mentioned that “He had a terrible childhood,” which might have affected his adult life.
Ali Abulaban did not have a good relationship with his father, who often used to tell him, “You’re a loser, I’m sick of you“
Ali Abulaban was born in 1992 in Staten Island, New York, to very religious parents who were immigrants.
Further, as per some social media users, Ali Abulaban is of Palestinian descent and grew up following the Muslim religion.
However, the ethnicity and origin of Ali Abulaban remain private to date.
His mother, Dalal Warra, revealed that she had her son Ali Abulaban at the age of 15 while at that time her husband was in his mid-20s.
She described her husband’s personality as very aggressive and short-tempered, which made her and all her children scared of him.
Ali was the oldest child among three children, and one of his siblings, Sammy Abulaban, has also been in custody due to his aggressive behaviors.
His mother also mentioned that when Ali was playing guitar, his father suddenly took the guitar from his hand and broke it on his head while calling him, “You’re a loser, I’m sick of you.“
Due to his family environment, Ali started having difficulties focusing on his school, and when his mother took him to the psychiatrist, they told her he had ADHD.
Being diagnosed with ADHD at the early age of 14, it became tough for him to continue his education.
However, he successfully completed his high school education at the New Directions Alternative School.
Later, in college, he dropped out after just one semester to join the military, hoping he would learn discipline and gain control over his mental health.
Unfortunately, fate did not favor him, as they discharged him after a short period due to his violent behaviors.
With time, his behaviors started getting worse and led to many problems in his life.
