Flore Danny Marie-Joseph Pensaert (born Ghent, 1997) is a Dutch-speaking Belgian nude model, actrice and activist against sexual misconduct and harassment. In 2023, she was crowned as Miss Rebelgium by P-Magazine in recognition of her battles.[1]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Pensaert was born in Ghent, after which she grew up and studied in Lokeren. She established herself as a creative individual: joining art competition Kunstbende, in the category film & the category performance for which she won third place[2] as well as poetry readings organized by her local poetry club.[3]
Activism
[edit | edit source]#Metoo
[edit | edit source]In 2015 Pensaert started her filmstudies at filmschool RITCS School Of Arts in Brussels.[4] During this period, she encountered a multitude of situations including sexual harassment on both filmsets & within the context of her studies.[5] At the heights of the #Metoo movement in België, she testified in 2017 about these stories on talkshow Van Gils & gasten.[6]
Miss Rebelgium
[edit | edit source]In 2023 Pensaert joined Miss Belgium. She was soon excluded from the competition. The reason for exclusion, Pensaert explained, was that her image as an artistic nude model was not deemed fit within the competition.[7]
At the same time it became known via Belgian news source VRT NWS Journaal that Miss Belgium's photographer was guilty of sexual misconduct.[8] In an interview with P-Magazine, Pensaert stated that she aimed to shed light on the issue, claiming she had prior knowledge of these stories and never intended to win the competition, but rather sought to expose the truth in order to protect young contestants. P-Magazine crowned her as Miss Belgium as a humorous acknowledgment of her battles on her 26th birthday, on which she also became their P-babe of the month.[1]
On October 2023 news broke that Pensaert would create a calendar in cooperation with ex-misses to condemn abuse in the pageantry world. Proceeds went to The Warmest Week, a yearly Belgian crowdfunding event benefiting non-profits.[9]
ISIS Fashion Awards
[edit | edit source]On the 8th of May 2025, Flore stormed onto the stage of the ISIS Fashion Awards. She declared activist statements against organizer Jan-Willem Breure, who made a documentary called "Are All Men Pedophiles?".
Pensaert testified to PowNed that this documentary glorifies and excuses pedophilia, and that Jan-Willem Breure is guilty of sexual misconduct behind the scenes of the ISIS Fashion Awards. According to Pensaert, a multitude of models have fallen victim to these misconducts, including herself during the 2024 edition of the event.[10]
