A State Farm executive was fired over an undercover video of comments he made about the insurer's California rate hike request in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles area wildfires.

Haden Kirkpatrick, a top State Farm executive, said he was fired after being recorded in an undercover video making disparaging remarks about Pacific Palisades homeowners.

Haden Kirkpatrick was fired after an undercover video appears to show him talking about rate hike.

State Farm executives said at the meeting that it needs a 22% emergency rate hike in California to cover more than $7.9 billion in losses. Lara initially rejected the request, saying in a Friday, Feb. 14, letter to State Farm executives that he needed more information before he can approve an increase.

A State Farm executive has been fired after he was secretly recorded alleging the insurance company hiked rates for California homeowners reeling from the LA wildfires.

"People want to be built in areas where they have natural areas around them for their ego... But also it's a f***** desert," said the former executive on a leaked and edited undercover video.

Haden Kirkpatrick said State Farm’s decision to pull out of California’s insurance market was a calculated move in response to state regulations and financial concerns.
