Flament has posed in the nude for Gala magazine. In 2016, she accused British photographer David Hamilton of raping her when she was 13 years old. France’s statute of limitations on rape and sexual abuse did not allow for Hamilton's prosecution. Some weeks after Flament's book containing the accusation was published, the photographer, at age 83, committed suicide. Following Hamilton's death, the French minister for children's and women's rights asked Flament to lead a body that would consider extending the statute of limitations.
