Creator Mike White hits the composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer

The writer and creator of the television drama, The White Lotus, retaliated to the comments made by the composer of the show, who left the series after the reports of a quarrel.

Cristóbal Tapia de Veer said to the New York Times last week He left the show by following the creative differences with the showrunner Mike White.

Addressing the broadcaster Howard Stern, White played reports on any “fight” but recognized that the pair had not seen the eye.

White said he felt that Veer did not respect him, adding: “I don’t think he liked to go through the process of obtaining notes on my part.”

The third season of the White Lotus was less well received than the previous two, but has won the traction of social media in recent weeks.

De Veer, who composed the score and the theme song of the first three seasons, said that he would not come back for the fourth due to a conflict with White.

“We have already had our last fight forever, I think,” he said. “He just said no to anything.”

Responding to his comments, White told Stern: “Honestly, I don’t know what happened, except that now I read his interviews because he decides to do a public relations campaign on him leaving the show.

“I don’t think he respected me. He wants people to know that he is upset and dark and I don’t know, as I watched reality TV.”

White continued: “We have never even really fought. He says we are done. I don’t think I never fought with him-except maybe some emails.”

White continued: “It was essentially me who gave him notes. I don’t think he liked to go through the process of obtaining notes from me, or wanting revisions, because he did not respect me.

“I knew he was not a team player and that he wanted to do it.

After the interview with Stern, from Veer told BBC News: “When Mike learned that I was not coming back for the four series, he did not manage it in a normal way, with a cool head, that’s why I became public.”

He added: “Everything that is going on right now is not completely necessary, I have not started this quarrel and I simply defend myself.”

De Veer added: “Each comment concerning the role of the composer and the music at the Stern show simply proves my point of view that he does not understand or does not fully appreciate the importance and the power of the music in the white lotus.

“I did not have the confidence of musical decisions, which you imagine coming with the success of the score. That is also why I am not coming back.”

De Veer won three Emmy Awards for White Lotus, including an exceptional theme for season one.

Some fans have expressed their disappointment that the theme of the show changed for season three, losing its famous vocal hook “Ooh-Loo-Looo”.

De Veer said he had tried to persuade the producers to publish a full version of the theme of season three, including the votes, but said that White had refused.

White told Stern: “As the third season arrived, he had won Emmy and he had his viral song, he did not want to follow the process with me, he did not want to go to the sessions.

“He always looked at me with that contemptuous smile on his face as if he thought I was a chimpanzee or something … He definitely makes a big problem with a creative difference.”

In response, De Veer drew attention to the career he had “long before White Lotus”, who saw him winning other prizes, including a BAFTA and a Prix de la Royal Television Society.

In his original comments at the New York Times, from Veer said: “Maybe I was not professional, and for sure, Mike feels that I was still not professional towards him because I did not give him what he wanted.”
