The Sun revealed that Sam and Ferne were at war again after Sam, 31, accused Ferne, 32, of speaking badly about her to friends.
The voice on the recording is heard saying that Sam is a "fat c***" and also appears to body shame the Towie star, describing her thighs as "so big".
Suzie has broken her silence telling fans she could "no longer sit back and say nothing".
Taking to social media, the 53-year-old said: "So after a few days of hurt and upset, I can no longer sit back and say nothing.
"This has come as a complete shock to myself and my family.

"Ferne has always been a very close family member to all of us over the past 20 years.
"It appears the voice note was sent just weeks after Samantha gave birth back in May."
Suzie went on: "Since the voice note has surfaced more have been sent - very upsetting nasty things.
"We are as shocked as you are! Nobody should ever speak about their friends like this ever!

"My girls are my absolute everything and I'll do anything to protect them.
"I don't have anything else to say on the matter."
The voice in the message is not confirmed to be Ferne.
Ferne’s representative has been contacted for comment, while Sam’s representative had no comment.
Yesterday, The Sun exclusively revealed that Ferne is embroiled in a bitter feud with her former friend.
“Naturally Sam is incredibly hurt and upset by these comments especially from someone she considered to be a good friend,” a source close to Sam tells The Sun.
“She’s at a loss as to why Ferne has turned on her.”
Insiders say Sam has now blocked Ferne and this week unfollowed her on Instagram.
The pair grew up together in Essex and later co-starred in The Only Way Is Essex - but Sam left in 2014 and Ferne quit two years later.
At the time, Ferne said: “The reason, as far as I'm concerned, that she fell out with me is because I decided to take this show.
“We had like 15 years of friendship … all I'll say is it's a terrible shame.”
But the rift ended in 2018 at Sam’s sister Billie’s hen do in Ibiza - as Ferne is best friends with Billie, the pair had to come face to face.
Sam later revealed: "We haven’t spoken about it and I doubt we will. We’ve both moved on.
"We attended my sister Billie's bridal shower in Ibiza and we saw each other the other day at the Pride of Britain Awards, so we’re just over it now."
