Tailstrike at 80kts, rejected at 90 kts.

Internal reports says at 80 kts the aircraft rotated, then the tailstrike and followed by the crew rejecting at 90 kts'
Figure this one out?
Maybe the "80" Call came out as "Rotate"?
AC was very close to MTOW and 189 Pax and 6 crew.
"Heavy tailstrike" with 2m damaged area and ruptured fuselage.
