I don't think it's an accepted pronounciation for malaise in English. But the way she said it was very close to the way it's pronounced in French.

There's was a story on NPR about President Jimmy Carter's malaise speech and the NPR reporter pronounced it ma-lez, which I guess is close to the French pronounciation, but not the way I've ever heard it pronounced in English.
