I think you have it wrong.
All that I presented
is the basis for the Assumptions about why this
ONE TWEET was made. A tweet that has a clear approving message. A tweet that
puts a seal of approval on Marina Abramovic work by a famous personality. The danger with such a positive message could be that it potentially attracts young impressionable people to look approvingly on what Abramovic does. I don't think there is anything there to follow for any young person. Novak YES, Abramovic NO.
Much of what Abramovic does is easily found on the Net, where we find no age restriction for her images (because it is called art). Even websites selling alcohol have a stupid page asking if the user is over 18 yrs. old !!! So to ask "Why she would do that ?" is an appropriate question.
Praising someone like Abramovic in my opinion collides with the image projected by the Djokovic Foundation and the publicly nurtured image by the two. That is family/children/health/love etc.
I'm not the only one noticing this.
Info in my post about Jelena Djokovic came from here -
Jelena Djokovic Biography, Age, Height, Husband, Net Worth
Seeing how quickly the Novak Djokovic Foundation changed the picture with the masked girl leads me to believe that they do monitor what is being said about them on the Net. If that website gave false info they would surely have informed them about it. Besides, that is not the only web site that has the same information.
Overall impression, a smart person who does know what she writes.
Marina Abramovic is much easier to evaluate. A Google search presents us and anyone curious with mountains of data.

So there is no mistaking who Abramovic is and what sort of "art" she makes. As I see it, her
spirit lies in darkness and
originality in the slaughter house.
Definitely none of it has family values or anything to do with love. She's extraordinary but in all the wrong ways.
I was fairly clear about what I was trying to do with my post, namely
understand the praise of someone like Abramovic. Not knowing anything about Jelena Djokovic then made it hard to understand where she was coming from.
I was formulating a simple "hypothesis".
By the way, "to step into doodoo" means to make a mistake, get in trouble.
Since there is no hope to get more information, my present best hypothesis about that tweet is simply this,
- "
So defending this devilish artist reflects very badly on the admirer."
I don't know why the tweet was made, but based on what I found I think it badly reflects on Jelena Djokovic.
Obviously she thinks differently since the tweet is still there. Such a smart person knows that making a tweet makes it available all over the world, exposing it to evaluation by others.
I used the word "defending", because in 2016 Abramovic was getting very bad PR due to Spirit Cooking being mentioned in the Podesta/Clinton leaked emails. The timing of the tweet gives a strong
impression that in that storm of controversy Jelena Djokovic was coming with some support to a fellow Serb. I don't think this is an outrageous assumption.
2016 was a very bad year for Abramovic.

However, there isn't enough information to say why with any confidence. Was it because,
- she truely admirers the work Abramovic generated up to that time.
- she suddenly wanted to say something positive about a fellow Serb at a time when others were attacking her.
- she didn't understand the art she happened to see.
- she based her opinion on very limited information.
- someone suggested she do it.
- her social circle likes Abramovic, so to fit in she followed.
....
Overall I feel comfortable with my superficial assessment and the info I presented. The tweet throws negative light on someone that is smart and all for family and children.
Prior to writing first time on this thread I only knew Djokovic as a tennis player, without any deeper knowledge of his life. I like him. However having looked a bit closer I see a muddy picture. The push-back on the Net about
WEF page of the foundation and the Abramovic tweet were just a few of the bumps in the Public Image of the duo.
In the case of the masked girl the reaction was very fast. It shows that they are sensitive to visual perception of that site. Since Jelena Djokovic is the Global CEO of the foundation, she would certainly have been informed of any controversies, as well as been involved in resolving them. Leaving the cooperation with
WEF aside, this mask issue I think is not anything serious. Masks were a life saver in 2020, not.

But the tweet about Abramovic remains as though nothing happened. No reaction.

The Jelena Djokovic twitter account is active, as can be seen by the Jan. 7, 2022 tweet. So someone does look in there and writes.
So here we have info about how Microsoft Corporation dealt with a similar push-back involving Abramovic.

Notice the date in the above tweet. The hornets nest that is Abramovic was kicked hard in the Public Space as MS was flooded with bad PR and backed out from using her in an ad. This reaction was due to the strong public push-back against Abramovic !!!! MS corrected the situation by not using Abramovic.
Interestingly , two days later (April 14, 2020) Jelena Djokovic received a tweet questioning her praise of Abramovic in the 2016 tweet. So it seems that once people because aware of Abramovic and Microsoft, they also found the connection between Jelena Djokovic and Abramovic. Her Twitter account received signals of controversy via the sent tweets.

But unlike with MS, there was no reaction from Jelena Djokovic, as the tweet is still there. Interestingly there are many more such push-back tweets going into Jan 2022 !!!
How all this was handled I find very interesting.
Mask on a child is changed quickly, but Spirit Cooking Abramovic stays.
Out of further curiosity I had a glance at older tweets in 2016 and 2017 to see if there were other tweets about this famous artist. I found only one that followed the one being discussed here.
While looking I found this tweet from Aug. 2, 2017 interesting, as the actor in it crossed my path while looking at Abramovic Google search images. It is
Australian actor Hugh Jackman. Jackman appeared in Jelena Djokovic magazine "ORIGINAL".
Translation of the Serbian,
Jackman talks like a wise man
Well it turns out that he is not only wise but also has an excellent artistic taste. Here he is seen at a Spirit Cooking Exposition with Shawn Penn and friends.

Probable ran into Marina and Lady Gaga later during dinner and cake eating afterwards.
