“The White Lotus” creator Mike White recently spoke out on “The Howard Stern Show” about an alleged feud with composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer. Tapia de Veer had announced he would not return for the fourth season of the HBO series and hinted at disagreements with White dating back to the first season.
According to Tapia de Veer, White wanted music without edge for the show, leading to creative disagreements. When Season 3 aired, fans noticed a change in the theme song, which sparked more controversy. Tapia de Veer wanted to incorporate the original theme into the new season’s music, but White reportedly refused due to their differences.
White denied ever having a major fight with the composer, stating that Tapia de Veer did not like receiving notes or revisions. He called Tapia de Veer’s decision to speak to the press and criticize him before the season finale a “b—- move.” White acknowledged Tapia de Veer’s talent but emphasized the importance of collaboration.
After the radio interview, Tapia de Veer took to social media to express his side of the story, claiming that White made him cut part of a song, leading to his decision to quit the show. He mentioned having evidence of their communications to back up his claims.
The reported feud between White and Tapia de Veer has created buzz among fans and media outlets, shedding light on the dynamics behind the scenes of the popular series.
