Mexican TV Host Faces Backlash After Drone Incident Injures Model
A live television broadcast in Mexico turned chaotic when a host kicked a drone, causing it to strike a model in the face.
On October 26, 2026, a live broadcast of the entertainment program 'Es Show' on Canal 6 in Monterrey, Mexico, resulted in an unexpected injury. During the segment, host Ernesto Chavana became visibly frustrated by a small filming drone hovering near him. In a sudden reaction, Chavana kicked the device, causing it to veer off course and strike Isabella Rojas, a Colombian model and dancer known as 'La Colombiana,' directly in the face. The impact caused a lip injury, forcing Rojas to leave the set to receive medical attention. The incident, which was captured on video and subsequently went viral, has sparked significant criticism from online viewers who condemned the host's actions and his failure to offer an immediate apology. Calls for his removal from the program have since circulated on social media. For residents and travelers, this event highlights the unpredictable nature of live television production environments and the potential risks associated with the use of drones in confined spaces. While the immediate medical status of the model has been addressed, it remains to be confirmed whether the television network will take formal disciplinary action against the host or implement new safety protocols for the use of filming equipment on set.
