Ernesto Chavana kicks drone into model's face during live TV broadcast
During a live broadcast of the entertainment program ‘Es Show’ on Multimedios TV’s Canal 6 in Monterrey, Mexico, presenter Ernesto Chavana kicked a production drone that was hovering near him. The action caused the device to fly off course and strike Colombian model Isabella Rojas, also known as ‘La Colombiana’, directly in the face.
Rojas sustained injuries to her mouth and lips, including cuts, and required medical attention from on-site paramedics. Following the incident, she briefly left the set but later returned to the studio to address viewers. Chavana issued an on-air apology, expressing embarrassment and stating that he would take full responsibility for the accident, including any resulting medical expenses.
The incident has sparked significant backlash on social media, with viewers criticizing Chavana’s initial reaction and questioning studio safety protocols regarding the use of drones around performers. Chavana has since released statements on social media to clarify that he was not attempting to cause harm and to absolve the production team of blame.
