When I left an abusive relationship I told people he raped me, he hit me, he psychologically and financially abused me, while he told people that it's actually quite complicated. In my experience that's generally the case when one side defends abuses with "it's complicated".
You see it over and over again, the party that's obviously in the wrong trying to make their abuses look complicated when they are quite simple. You see it with Israeli abuses of the Palestinians, you saw it when John Bolton defends the Iraq invasion:
"It's complicated." No, usually it's quite simple, especially when the accused abuser is in the up-power position.
