How do you stop the effects of an ex-wife who tries to make her daughter hate her father (unfounded reasons)?

I have a step daughter (7 years old) who is very sweet but very sensitive. She loves being with her father and I and her sisters. (we share equal custody with his ex.) His ex is very jealous and threatens her lawyer everytime something doesn't go her way. My husband takes his daughter to school everday(even when its not his week), picks her up most days,volunteers for school functions and has been the stable part for his daughter during this whole divorce.(5 years) Her mom has had multiple boyfriends and changes her idea of whats best for her daughter based on her current situation. Unfortunately my stepdaughter responds to guilt and feeling bad. Her mom continuously says how much it hurts her for her to spend time with us and makes comments about our parenting or lack of love for the daughter. She calls 2 or 3 times a day when its our week with her. How do we stop the impact on her? We refuse to play the same game and never say anything negative about her mom. My husband is a wonderful father. But I am afraid my step daughter sometimes questions how we feel about her because of her mom. we have tried to talk to her mom but she just starts getting mad and making accusations. She makes her daughter feel bad all the time but our daughter takes that as a need to take care of her mom-- or being careful of what she says around her. Her mom is always questioning her about what goes on at our house but gets defensive if we ask about her plans. What else can we do?
