I don't think Mal is the type to do evil things just to get what she wants (like Rumple). She seems more like someone who gives the proper punishment (at least she thinks it's justified) to the people who wronged her. Now, of course we don't know what happened between Mal and Briar Rose, but I do suspect that Briar Rose also did something to hurt Mal, maybe per accident, maybe not.
