Accreting matter will encounter a hard surface and flare, whereas accreting matter will encounter an event horizon and simply keep falling. All of these points are covered in this collection of papers, all consistent with an event horizon, and all consistent with the predictions of general relativistic models of accreting black holes.

I understand the hairless black hole theorem. I just don't agree that the mass is actually a singularity inside the event horizon. I believe there's an actual ball in their somewhere (and the event horizon has a larger radius than the ball, such that once beyond the event horizon, it ain't coming back).
I also understand that if light can't escape, that probably holds true for a magnetic field as well as charge - both would be contained inside the event horizon.
I don't understand why a rotating black hole with a magetic field would be "torn apart," as the magnetic field would eminate from it's poles, thus any change in magnetic flux at any point within the event horizon would be minimal.
