The incident took place on October 26 during an episode of the Mexican variety programme Es Show, leaving Colombian model and dancer Isabella Rojas injured and forcing her to leave the set for medical attention. A Mexican television host accidentally hit a female contestant in the face with a drone after kicking the device during a live broadcast.
A video of the incident shows host Ernesto Chavana appearing irritated as a small drone hovered near him on the studio set. In a moment of frustration, Chavana kicked the device, sending it flying upwards and into Rojas’ face. Rojas later returned to the set, where Chavana apologised for the incident and accepted responsibility for what had happened. “I’m very sorry. The incident triggered strong reactions on social media, with several users criticising Chavana for his response immediately after the drone struck Rojas. One user wrote, “The worst part is that after he realises he hurt the girl, instead of immediately apologising and recognising his outburst, on the contrary, he kept yelling for them to get the drone out! They should fire him and remove him immediately from the programme.”
I take responsibility for what just happened,” he said.
