Seem pretty leaked to me!
IMHO I think the difference between leak and non-leak is whether the person wanted the photos shared or not. It's a leak if someone hacks into her phone. It's a non-leak if it's consciously released.
The problem with someone like Sophie Howard is that she makes showing off her nudity part of her job/business. So, it's really hard to determine whether someone really hacked her phone, or she purposely released them as part of an ongoing branding exercise to display her assets.
