Creator Mike White hits back at composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer

The writer and creator of TV drama The White Lotus has hit back at comments made by the show’s composer, who left the series after reports of a feud.

Cristóbal Tapia de Veer told the New York Times last week he was quitting the show following creative differences with showrunner Mike White.

Speaking to broadcaster Howard Stern, White played down reports of any “fight” but acknowledged the pair had not seen eye to eye.

White said he felt De Veer didn’t respect him, adding: “I don’t think he liked to go through the process of getting notes from me.”
