Mike White Says ‘White Lotus’ Composer Made a ‘Bitch Move’ by Talking About Leaving the Show

Mike White wasn't happy with 'White Lotus' composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer quitting the show and speaking out about it.

In an interview with Howard Stern Tuesday morning, the HBO show’s creator slammed the music maker for speaking to the press about his exit, claiming he had “never kissed somebody’s ass so hard” before Tapia de Veer left. “I guess he just didn’t respect me,” White said, later adding: “By the time the third season came around he’d won Emmys and had his song go viral, so he just did not want to go through the process anymore. Speaking to Rolling Stone, White Lotus‘ music supervisor Gabe Hilfer, who joined for Season Two, said the uproar meant people cared about the show.
