Victoria Woodall claims she was working in the UK sales and agencies team at Google when two female clients contacted her to report that a manager had been sharing details about his swinger lifestyle.
One complained that during a business lunch, he'd been boasting about the number of black women he'd had sex with.
Another said that he had shown her a nude photo of his wife.
Google investigated and found the manager's conduct amounted to sexual harassment and that he'd also touched two colleagues without their consent.
But Ms Whittle claims she was retaliated against for reporting him.
In court, she said that, among other actions, her boss had tried to downgrade her performance and demoted her on a big project before she was made redundant.
Google denies any retaliation, arguing that Ms Woodall became paranoid after whistleblowing and began to view normal business decisions as sinister.
