In that situation you’re still admitting the threats have power over you; by releasing the photos yourself, you both out the person as fucking scum and demonstrate that their threat was completely impotent, delivering a one-two punch to the ego.
Doing it differently could prevent him from doing this bullshit to someone else. Some people need to face consequences so their last few brain cells understand they’re ass holes.
Why not release just his threats?

I’m sure that your future employer will care a lot about the difference while running the most progressive and sex positive background check ever.
An employer who looks up that stuff and has a problem with it needs to get treatment for their mental illness. They are unwell.

Oh nooo some asshole put up a bunch of deepfakes of me, I can’t believe you found that, here let me email the site to warn them…
Exactly the same as if the guy released them so I guess it was never an effective threat to begin with?
It isn’t an effective threat to employers, but it does work on friends and family.

That analogy only works if your nudes being out there hurts or at least bothers you. Maybe she doesn’t care or planned to do it herself someday?
You take away all the power if you follow through with releasing them yourself.

Still doesn’t stop them being used against you. If they’re published by “choice” I think that’s easier on the soul, if still painful.
