We critically examine the claim made by Burko and Ori that black holes are expected to form in nonsymmetric gravity and find their analysis to be inconclusive. Their conclusion is a result of the approximations they make, and not a consequence of the true dynamics of the theory. The approximation they use fails to capture the crucial equivalence principle violations which enable the full nonsymmetric field equations to detect and tame would-be horizons. An examination of the dynamics of the full theory reveals no indication that black holes should form. For these reasons, one cannot conclude from their analysis that nonsymmetric gravity has black holes. A definitive answers awaits a comprehensive study of gravitational collapse, using the full field equations.
