Yup that and Jenny slept with Ben out of heartbreak, sleeping with Ben almost seemed all about Emma, hence why Emma was cut inbetween at the musical. Emily/JJ was just this totally random move from a girl who before episode 7 had no shown no interest in JJ friendly or otherwise.
Possibly fandom was outraged because Emily was sharing a relationship with someone in which Naomi had absolutely nothing to do with it.........IDK.

Well, I suppose you could say that Naomi's refusal to 'be brave' was something that pushed Emily to do what she did as well. Skins didn't intercut scenes the way HaH does, but then Skins has very strict rules about not deviating from chronological narrative structure (though they will also consciously break some of their rules in certain circumstances). To be fair, their friendship did have a sort of spur-of-the-moment feeling to it, but there were some logistical reasons for that. Plus, unless their relationship had an impact on other characters' points of view, there wouldn't have been an opportunity to develop it before JJ's ep. Even during the planning stages, there was a point where Emily was going to be paired with JJ and Naomi with Thomas. From a dramatic point of view, it was a cardinal function in both JJ's and Naomily's storylines.
I have no idea about the development of the Jemma storyline but I can see how sleeping with Ben was also a cardinal function because it creates another obstacle for them to deal with, thereby postponing the gratification of the audience's desire to see Jemma get together. I can also totally understand that someone like Jenny would just do something random like that because she is so hurt. It's consistent with her character's impulsiveness and Bohemian sensibility.
