Regina and Maleficent are not however (well, not to each other anyway). And they specifically referenced a Sleeping Beauty that Maleficent had cursed, which was confirmed by Adam and Eddy to be a different one than Aurora, because Aurora said it was her mother. It may not be Aurora's mother, or biological mother, but there was definitly a woman who Maleficent "sleeping cursed" before Aurora. So in that way she does exist. I have to disagree, as the Evil Queen was the biggest liar of them all. There are probably only two people who know what happened.... Maleficent and King Stefan. Regina could have just heard the made-up story, and assumed it was true. From the flashback timeline, Aurora should have already been asleep, when the audience was introduced to Maleficent, in 1.02.

Similar to how deleted scenes are not canon, interviews cannot be considered canon either. There have been plenty of times, where Eddy and Adam were misquoted by "reporters", or just decided to go in a different direction.
