Mengo struggled to compose herself while making submissions several times on Thursday.
"Chair, if I may just mention, the witness is emotional... chair."
Mengo broke down particularly when asked about the explicit images and videos she received from her boss.
She also described feeling embarrassed during the interactions.
Mengo will be back in the witness seat on Friday.
