NEW YORK, July 6 (UPI) -- Star Jones is advising her fans to protest her firing directly to the ABC officials, including Barbara Walters.

Jones is using her Web site, starjones.com, to tell fans exactly how to protest her firing from "The View" to ABC officials, the New York Post reported Thursday.

She updated her site for the first time in nine months on Wednesday, adding contact info for Walters, "The View" executive producer Bill Geddie and ABC Daytime President Brian Frons.

Jones wrote that "several thousand visitors" to her site had requested the contact info.

She also thanked her fans for "Your words of encouragement while going through such a challenging few days," in a statement made on her Web site.

"I must say that had it not been for all of your e-mails and letters, this past week would have been very difficult," Jones wrote on her site.

Jones shocked ABC and Walters last Tuesday after beating ABC to the punch and announcing on air that she was leaving "The View."

The incident created a rift between Jones and Walters. Walters and Jones have both released statements saying they fell like each had been betrayed by the other.
