What happened
It happened on the show Es Show, on Multimedios Channel 6, in Monterrey, Nuevo León. The video began spreading online on October 27.
A production drone flew close to Chavana while he was on camera. The host kicked it, and the drone shot off toward one of the show's models.

Many users called for the host to be punished.
