Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, composer for HBO's *The White Lotus*, claims he quit due to creative differences and clashes with creator Mike White. White disputes this, suggesting Tapia de Veer's behavior was unprofessional and that he lacked respect for White's vision. White also notes Tapia de Veer's recent success might have contributed to his attitude. The disagreement centers around differing musical styles, with Tapia de Veer preferring a darker sound than White's envisioned 'chill, sexy' vibe. The fallout occurred just days before the season finale.
