Mexican TV Host Kicks Drone That Struck Model on Live Show

The on‑air accident forced the network to promise payment for medical costs and has raised fresh questions about safety and liability on live television sets.

Overview

  • Host Ernesto Chavana accidentally kicked a production drone during Es Show in Monterrey, sending it into model Isabella Rojas’s face and leaving her with a split upper lip.
  • Rojas was escorted off set for medical attention and returned to the broadcast minutes later to say she was okay and to show the injury.
  • Chavana issued an on‑air apology accepting responsibility and the Multimedios production said he will cover medical expenses and any damages.
  • Video of the incident has circulated widely on social media, prompting criticism of Chavana’s immediate response and questions about how quickly staff tended to the injured model.
  • The case highlights growing safety and liability issues as studios use drones and remote cameras and could prompt internal reviews, insurance claims, or legal complaints even though no formal disciplinary or legal action has been reported yet.
