Overview
- Ernesto Chavana kicked a low-flying drone during Es Show and the device struck model Isabella Rojas in the face, causing immediate injury that was captured on the program’s cameras.
- Colleagues rushed to assist Rojas and she was taken offstage for medical attention before returning to the broadcast and saying she suffered only minor injuries; no detailed medical report has been released.
- Chavana issued an on-air apology, said he had been 'alterado' and felt ashamed, and Canal 6 production confirmed he will assume medical expenses and economic reparations for the model.
- Video of the incident, which circulated on Multimedios’ site and across social media on Tuesday, drew widespread criticism of the host’s action and the use of a drone as a live-show prop.
- The episode has focused attention on safety rules for live television stunts and equipment, and it is likely to trigger internal reviews of studio protocols and any further steps by the network.
