There might be naked singularities in case of a rapidly rotating black hole. The singularity would have a donut shape and might be outside of the event horizon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_singularity

Of course, this is very theoretical and we don't actually expect that to exist.

Huh, I thought that naked singularities were thought to not exist. But apparently in 2018 someone found a case where they could.

Thanks!
